This weeks study included some powerful talks and readings. In the talk "A Hero's Journey" we learn that the key to a hero's journey is "it's all about you, but it's not about you at all."
This sounds a little confusing but I equate it to the scripture Matt 10:39 "He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it."
This was my greatest takeaway from the talk and I was thankful for this reminder. Even in our work or career choices we should be seeking to serve others because this brings us the greatest and lasting happiness.
Another influential talk for me was "Perseverance" by President Faust given back in 2005. My favorite quote from the talk was "Success is usually earned by persevering and not becoming discouraged when we encounter challenges. Paul Harvey, the famous news analyst and author, once said: “Someday I hope to enjoy enough of what the world calls success so that someone will ask me, ‘What’s the secret of it?’ I shall say simply this: ‘I get up when I fall down."
Perseverance is one of the greatest qualities to poses; with it we can overcome anything!
